Creative residency towards PANORAMA

Theatre

Motus flies to Seoul to continue the visual research on PANORAMA, the new work with the Great Jones Repertory Company actors, which will premiere at La MaMa in New York in January 2018 in the frame of Under the Radar Festival.
It will be an imaginative biography of the interethnic group of performers of the mythical New York East Village theatre founded by Ellen Stewart, starting from interviews about their experiences of meetings and abandonments (many of these actors moved from other cities and continents to realize their artistic project in New York...). With the support of the playwright Erik Ehn, Motus draws new existential panoramas, where nomadism becomes an intrinsic property of existence (and of being an artist) putting to the test any attempt to irrevocably fix people, nationalities, races, professions in hierarchical and unchangeable categories.

Rosi Braidotti wrote about a “belonging open to Multiplicities” proposing a post-nationalistic identity for all the populations of the world, focusing on the concept of fluid identity and nomad identity. Panorama delves into the heart of this political urgency with a narrative anchored to the experience of being an actor today, to make this explode in a kaleidoscopic performance on the human right to be in movement.
from 24/08/2017 to 03/09/2017
PANORAMA is Motus’ new project, now in the creation phase, which will premiere in January 2018 in New York.
After hosting one of the Furious Diaspora workshops, La MaMa experimental theatre club of New York officially invited MOTUS to create a new show with the actors of the Great Jones Repertory Company, for which the prestigious NEA Arts Foundation awarded a grant.
This project is ideally part of Motus’ new journey, started with MDLSX, which focuses on the issues of border and conflict: from the tensions on the boundaries that we live within our own body, to the broader conflicts connected to the “interstitial” communities, on the move, seeking new dwellings.
